Big is the fourth studio album (sixth overall) by American R&B/soul singer Macy Gray, released on March 27, 2007 (see 2007 in music). It is her first new album in four years.

Following its release, the album debuted and peaked at number thirty-nine on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling about 23,000 copies in its first week.[1] It was Gray's first studio album to be notified as parental advisory, although packaging does not contain a sticker.

Two singles have so far been released from the album, the international first single "Finally Made Me Happy", a duet with Natalie Cole, and the North American single "Shoo Be Doo". "What I Gotta Do" features on the Shrek the Third soundtrack. Music from this album was also featured in the I Love New York season one reunion. The album's cover art was widely illustrated on Apple iPhone's ads and featured on the first boxes of Apple's iPod touch.
